1965 Mini For Sale

The Mini is a small economy car that was produced by BMC and its successors from 1959 to 2000. These vehicles were designed by Sir Alec Issigonis. They were officially announced to the public on August 26,1959. Mini was marketed under Morris and Austin until 1969. Engines on these vehicles were transverse and they had front wheel drive, by doing that they saved space inside for passengers and luggage. In 1964 the suspension on these vehicles were changed to the hydrolastic system. From October 1965, the option of an automatic four speed transmission became available. In 1999 the Mini was voted the second most influential car of the 20th century. They were manufactured at multiple locations around the world. The Mini Cooper and the Mini Cooper S were the sporty versions of these cars. Mini won the Monte Carlo Rally in 1964, 1965 and 1967.
